I've done everything I can, and I refuse to think about Trump getting into the White House again. I'm just setting that possibility aside mentally so that I can at least enjoy life for five more days.
While I'm just being happy about the potential of a Harris administration, I am thinking about how interesting it will be to see how a capable person with a prosecutorial background performs. We saw how well it served Harris in the debate and in the Fox interview. She's used to dealing with hostile witnesses, and she listens carefully to her opponent and figures out how to lead them to say or agree to whatever she needs for her client -- us! And she has dealt with cartels, etc., and is focused on the necessity of protecting her client.
I tend to think she'll be great dealing with foreign leaders.
Also, in her capacity of attorney general for California, she did need to listen to and serve everyone in the state. I think we can take seriously her pledge to listen to and give a seat at the table to people she doesn't agree with. Moreover, if she wins, she will owe her victory to Republicans who crossed over in order to get rid of Trump and his most harmful aims. I think she realizes that she will need to keep that coalition together for the foreseeable future.
A year from now, we'll realize that winning was the easy part. It's not sustainable for our democracy to depend on Democrats running a perfect campaign in every election while the Republicans go as crazy as possible. We have to put this country back together. I believe Harris has the skills and character to do that.
